A Country Oasis in Baltimore, Maryland

 

Named for the surrounding hills that slope up from the Patapsco tributaries, Ten Hills is a designated historic district through the Baltimore City Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP)* comprising approximately 250 homes many built during the first two decades of the 20th century.

However, it is much more than that! Nestled within this suburban environment of tree-filled, winding streets, and attractive homes Ten Hills is a true community. Made up of a diverse mix of people this neighborhood is close-knit in a way that few places are in this modern age.

Neighbors meet for happy hours, organize book groups, walking groups, and art groups, as well as help each other in times of need. There is a sense of camaraderie and dedication to the betterment of both the neighborhood and Baltimore at large. Combined with the area’s natural and architectural beauty, it is easy to see why so many families love to call Ten Hills “home.”

* Ten Hills was designated as a historic district under the Baltimore City Commission for Historic and Architectural Preservation (CHAP) in 2001 (Baltimore City Historic District Ordinance 01-183 06/19/01).  Historic district designation helps ensure that Ten Hills retains its historic character, while also offering benefits in the form of design and materials advice and eligibility for tax credit incentives at both the state and local level for qualifying projects.

All exterior changes to properties in Ten Hills must receive authorization to proceed from CHAP and a city building permit prior to project start.  Please use the resources below for additional information or contact a member of the Ten Hills ADRC.
